Description

Report Overview

Benzene-1,4-diol, commonly known as hydroquinone, is an aromatic organic compound with the chemical formula C₆H₄(OH)₂, featuring two hydroxyl groups bonded to a benzene ring in the para position. It is widely utilized across multiple industries, primarily as a reducing agent, antioxidant, and intermediate in chemical synthesis. In the cosmetics and dermatology sectors, hydroquinone is a key active ingredient in skin-lightening and hyperpigmentation treatments due to its ability to inhibit melanin production. The pharmaceutical industry employs it in the synthesis of drugs, while its antioxidant properties make it valuable in rubber and polymer manufacturing to prevent degradation. Additionally, it serves as a photographic developer and in the production of agrochemicals. However, regulatory restrictions on its use in cosmetics, particularly in the EU and parts of Asia, due to potential health concerns have influenced market dynamics, driving demand for safer alternatives while maintaining steady industrial demand in other applications. The market is further shaped by production trends in key regions like China and North America, as well as evolving environmental and safety regulations.

The global Benzene 1,4 Diol market size was estimated at USD 1622.28 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.50% during the forecast period.
